I want to make a schedule batch job to check the disk usgae of local and remote computer. If the disk usage is more than 80%, an alert would be generated. I know that Windows Performance Monitor can do it but it is not a batch job. Is there anyway to do it as a batch job?

Hi again, I just can give you listing which seeks out how many bytes are free. I donīt know how to make an alert. sorry Iīm sure someone in the DOS Forum can help you.
@echo off dir >temp.txt FOR /f "skip=2 delims=" %%a in ('find "Bytes frei" c:\temp.txt') do echo %%a >temp.txt
FOR /f "tokens=1-4 skip=2 delims= " %%a in ('find "." temp.txt') do echo %%a
(Bytes frei is the word you are seeking; I use a german version of windows. I think you need Bytes free if using an english windows.)
This filters out the line of the dir command where dir shows you the free space.
